Walking in Munich, Hitler Walking tour, Third Reich Munich Walking Tour 4K.
Delve into Munich’s dark past and the birth of the Nazi ideology on a virtual 1-hour city walking tour.
In the first quarter of the 20th century, the Bavarian city of Munich was ill-fated to become the birthplace and capital of the Nazi movement, after the National Socialist German Workers' Party was formed in the city in 1920. It was here that Hitler had made his first attempts at grabbing power.
1. Fuhrerbau
The Führerbau – translated as "the Führer's building" – was built from 1933 to 1937 after the plans of architect Paul Ludwig Troost, at Arcisstrasse 12 in Maxvorstadt, Munich. The first plans were made in 1931. The building was completed three years after Troost's death by Leonhard Gall
2.Feldherrnhalle
The Feldherrnhalle is a monumental loggia on the Odeonsplatz in Munich, Germany. Modelled after the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, it was commissioned in 1841 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to honour the tradition of Bavarian Army. In 1923, it was the site of the brief battle that ended Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch
3.Hofbrauhaus Beer Hall
The Hofbräuhaus am Platzl is a beer hall in Munich, Germany, originally built in 1589 by Bavarian Duke Maximilian I as an extension of the Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München brewery. The general public was admitted in 1828 by Ludwig I. The building was completely remodeled in 1897 by Max Littmann when the brewery moved to the suburbs. All of the rooms except the historic beer hall ("Schwemme") were destroyed in the World War II bombings. The reopening of the Festival Hall in 1958 marked the end of the post-war restoration work.
4. Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall)
The Old Town Hall, until 1874 the domicile of the municipality, serves today as a building for representative purposes for the city council in Munich. The Old Town Hall bounds the central square Marienplatz on its east side.
5. Sterneckerbräu
The Sterneckerbräu was a brewery in Munich. The associated inn served as a meeting place for the first branch of the German Workers' Party (DAP) and, similarly to the Bürgerbräukeller, was a place of pilgrimage for the Nazi movement. The DAP members met once a week in the restaurant on the first floor of the building. On 12 September 1919, Adolf Hitler attended a DAP gathering on behalf of the intelligence command of the army, which took place in a meeting room of the Sterneckerbräu, and was invited to join the party. He accepted the invitation and, on that date, became the DAP's 55th member.
5.Hitler's Early Residence in Munich, Munich
After being discharged from the German Army in March 1920, Hitler returned to Munich and went to work full-time for the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party), which was headquartered in the city. He rented a small bedroom at Thierschstrasse 41, from 1920 to 1929. Later, he rented a second room to use as an office. In 1936, the Munich city council placed a plaque on the building which read, "Adolf Hitler lived in this house from 1 May 1920 to 5 October 1929". The building still stands; Hitler's former room is used for storage.
